They're organized into 6 categories — [name them: e.g. Terrain Deform, Curve Deform, Organic Scatter, Architectural Scatter, Vegetation, Utility]. Each category solves a different shaping or population problem rather than being variations on one effect.

Yes. Presets are non-destructive and driven by the modifier stack, so scatter and deform results update as you edit the underlying mesh.

Yes. Every scatter preset accepts any mesh object as the instance source — presets set up the distribution logic (density, slope response, rotation/scale variance), you supply the geometry.

Yes. Every deformer preset auto-centers on the target mesh's actual geometry, not its object origin — so imported models, linked assets, and objects with off-center origins all behave correctly out of the box. No manual re-centering step required.

Yes — select all the objects you want, then use Apply to All Selected to push the preset onto every one of them in a single click.
